Research and knowledge exchange

Representing researchers

There are a variety of academics, researchers and professional services staff working to represent and champion the needs of Sussex researchers and support your experiences and professional development.

As a Sussex researcher, you are invited to contribute your suggestions and ideas for ways in which the University can support you. You are welcome to get involved by becoming a Research Staff Representative, representing researcher interests at a University/school committee or by attending the various events run by the Research Staff Office throughout the year.

Faculty Representation for Researchers

Within your school there will be a member of academic faculty who is responsible for overseeing research staff matters at the school level. This will usually be the School’s Director of Research and Knowledge Exchange, but in some cases schools have appointed a Director of Postdoctoral Development.
